Fallendawn arranged and re-arranged her herb piles for the eighth or so time that day. All this waiting was pure torture. When was another cat going to arrive? Wishstar and Mistedflower were nice company, but it got so lonely here sometimes. Didn't the word "Clan" imply more cats? And who was she to heal and serve when her Clan consisted of only two perfectly healthy cats? It frustrated Fallendawn to have absoultuly nothing to do, nothing to keep her paws and her mind busy. The waiting was torture. Someone needed to come.

Wishstar padded into the medicine cat's den. There was not much to do with only two cats to lead, and at that, they usually followed the rules. She padded over to Fallendown and sat in a very polite manner. "I was thinking, maybe we should get to know each other a little better, I mean then we have." She padded over to her piles of herbs, maybe she could get to know the herbs too, which might help in emergencies. She prodded one of the piles with her paw "What's that.. what does it do?" she asked.

Fallendawn glanced down to the pile of herbs Wishstar had pointed out to her. "That's iris petals, you use them to help queens if they're having difficulties breathing while birthing. It also helps kits with sore throats." she recited, glad to have someone to talk with. She scooped a juniper berry back into the pile as it began to roll away. "And that's junpier, you give them to cats with a belly ache, a cough, or who's having a hard time breathing." she explained.

"ahh, you know a lot. I've just been thinking how to make us stronger. Maybe we should line up brambles around the camp, which might drive away dogs and foxes.. you think? And I was thinking maybe we can move out some of the unneeded peaces of wood to make more room, and fill in holes or something, or maybe we can even use it to mark off where we will make dirt, or something." she paused, not wanting to bore the poor cat. "So, the other night, you and reedstar seemed pretty close" She kept her paws busy with the dirt she was sweeping to the side of the den, but quickly flicked her eyes to Fallendawn to see her reaction.

"Sounds like a good idea. You've put a lot of thought into it." Fallendawn commented. "And what do you mean by close?" she wondered, tipping her head to the left slightly.

"like.. there's something between you two. Like a little heat" She tried to explain, shaking her head.

Fallendawn shook her head, laughing softly. "No, no. It's not like that." she assured her leader. "Reedstar is a kind cat, and yes, we get along, but I wouldn't take a mate, Medicine Cats are forbidden to do so," she said, using her new knowledge of the Warrior Code, "especially from another Clan."

Wishtar laughed, not quite believing her medicinecat. Even if she didn't feel that way now, or about Reedstar, she felt that she would feel that way somehow about something.
Believepaw scurried into a small tree passage she knew the badgers chasing her couldn't fit through. She panted inside the old mossy tree for a few seconds before finding another small passageway to get away. She scurring into the crack, bark digging into her sleft ide, wich was torn with a bloody scar. She wriggled her way through the passageway, almost to small for her little body, ignoring the pain. She padded into the center of the camp. She didn't expect anyone lived there.
Wishstar heard crashes against some of the trees. She jumped up and scurried into the clearing, but a kitten was sitting there, blood oozing out her side. She shivered, and ignored the banging for now, assuming the predator won't come through.
Believepaw could move, she knew she could if she tried, but she didn't exactly want to try. She was relieved when she saw the cat above her.
Wishstar grabbed the kit by the scruff and pelted back into the medicinecat den. "What do I do, lick it clean?" She asked, mouth full of fur. She scraped her claws against the tree trunk, gathering enough moss for believepaw to lay in. She set it down and spread it out, placing her into it.

Fallendawn gasped at Believepaw. "What happened?" she asked, nodding briefly to Wishstar when she asked if she should lick the wound clean.

Wishstar started to lick the wound, trying to be light and not hurt the poor thing.
"Badgers, I think I was in their place, or something" Believepaw winced.

"Oh," Was all Fallendawn said, she darted over to her herb piles. She picked a few herbs, poppy seeds and chevril, and then some cobwebs. "Eat these." she pawed the poppy seeds over to Believepaw. She set to work speading the juice of the chevril on her wounds. "This might sting a bit." she warned as she did so. She applied cobwebs afterwards.

Wishstar backed away and let the medicinecat work. She studied the kitten, she looked small but maybe she was old enough to be an apprentice. Maybe she will be the only one with an apprentice by the next full moon and she could gloat.
Believepaw stayed still, letting the cat work on her wound, though she didn't know what she was doing. She found the work very interesting.
"How many moons are you?" wishstar asked.
"About... six?" she guessed.
"Do you want to stay here.. forever?" She came right out to it.
"Sure, it sounds good"
"well, do you want to be a warrior where you hunt food and-"|
"I want to do whatever this cat's doing"

"Alright, that should about do it." Fallendawn told the cat. Then she was taken by surprise when she told Wishstar she would like to become a Medicine Cat. "I would love to take you on as an apprentice." she smiled. "If it's alright with Wishstar, that is." she glanced at her leader. She was inturrupted by Featherpaw's entry. "What's this, another visiter?" she smiled.

Featherpaw looked at Fallendawn, Wishstar, and Believepaw. "oh, hello. i was told to come here to join a clan, by a cat in my dream...are you all here for the same reason?" Featherpaw asked.
